There are more important ones that you missed. 1. Don't drag your feet on greens. 2. Learn to fix ball marks on greens properly. 3. Hit provisional as needed. 4. Don't drive carts on soaked grass. 5. Don't cheer so loud others groups get distracted. 6. And my personal favorite.... keep up with the group ahead of you, especially when a group is behind you. Golf is somthing I do that day.), it is not all of my day!
@Paul Goodier cheating raises not helps your handicap because once you cheat your round will fall apart. It’s not a fun game if everyone is always dropping balls when they miff one. And I play empty courses not crowded ones thankfully but I will not allow mainlanders in a hurry to alter my day. If someone wants to pass fine, but people standing on T boxes when there’s nowher to go I’ll slow down. The round goes faster when everyone is comfortable to take their own time, may not appear that way but people don’t mishit as often when they ar comfortable.
Gimmes in match play are a psychological edge because when it comes to actually having to make an important putt it puts more pressure on the other guy because he hasn't had the feel of the green or a putt.
When your playing partner pulls the flag and lays it beyond the hole but still in reachable distance of your putt, should your ball go too far past the hole.
Did you mention fixing the pitch mark your ball makes when your approach shot hits the green? Some call it a divot and that's okay, but that's what your irons make when hit (usually) from the fairway. Either way, you should have your repair tool in your pocket and fix them.
I have a friend that's loves being late to tee times. Tee time is at 9 with at least a 30 minute drive? I'll pick you up at 8:35 and stop for coffee on the way. I just started driving myself.
The first thing I was taught about while watching my dad during his round of golf when I was a kid was etiquette. Today people buy clubs cigars and alcohol and have no clue about on course etiquette. It’s pathetic and frustrating.
That's abnormal and most likely incorrect. They should both heal at the same rate, assuming that you aren't making massively deep gouges by hitting from basically the same place.
Ball marks, divots, general care for the course like not driving the cart around the edge of or on the green or up onto the tee box, all far more egregious breaches of etiquette than a stand bag on the tee or walking across the green with your bag on your shoulder. Is there a weight limit? Really? This is more of a pet peeves list. Absolutely agree about phones though. Phones go in the glove compartment of the car, or set to vibrate and tucked into the valuables pocket of your golf bag. And there they stay from the first tee to the walk to the tenth tee. Then back into the bag they go until you're walking to the parking lot after the 18th.
I played a charity golf tournament with my neighbor who weight well over 300 pounds and when he walked on the green he left an imprint like a dinosaur track.
You can carry your bag on the green, just don’t set it down. If I weigh 200 with my bag and my playing partner weighs 250 without his, he’s doing more damage than I could possibly do. Either way footprints heal themselves quickly, just don’t step too close to the hole, bag or no bag. And if you are distracted by a golf bag, either ask the guy to move it or learn to concentrate a little better. The tee box was not like a green.
It's etiquette, it doesn't have to make sense. Just don't carry your bag across the green (walk aroud the edge). BTW, footprints won't heal in time for the next foursome... or the one after them... or the next one, etc.
The general rule on phones is NEVER on the course. If someone needs to be aware of a phone call or text, and they ask their playing partners in advance, then it is allowable.
Also everybody needs to watch eachother shoot. Most annoying thing when you make a beautiful shot and you turn to your jackass friends that missed it cuz they are on their phones. No cell phones on the course is a great idea
And buying a six-pack every 4 holes will slow the golf day down. Finding a bathroom, getting worse the drunker you get. And smoking pot doesn't help your golf game either, Just saying 😃
#9 and #10 No... just keep the bag out of the way. And walking across the green with the bag is the whole point of saving time. The weight of a carry bag is not going to make a difference on the green. I've seen 300 lb men walk across and they are riding. That could be worse if your theory is true.
Here's a few more. Don't announce the trouble on a hole (ie, ob) before somebody tees off. Chronically self-analyzing your own swing or anybody else's swing on the course -- you don't know what you're talking about and nobody cares about your opinion. Marking your ball with a half a dollar. Talking (and whispering) after somebody has started their preshot routine -- yep, we can hear you whispering dude. Standing directly down the target line as somebody hits a full shot, unless you're an invited caddy or part of a large gallery. Having a preshot routine that takes more than 15 seconds. Just hit it. Moving around, playing with your phone, pulling clubs in and out of your bag after somebody's started their routine. Just be still - it ain't that hard or complicated. I'm old, but I believe they ought to teach that stuff to everybody before they let em on a real golf course.
Great additional set of points. I think your 15 seconds pre-shot is a bit rushed - I was always taught to walk quickly to the ball, take your time over the shot, though not excessively. My [tee shot] routine: check ground (don't want to stand in a divot hole), ball on tee, stand behind ball to check line (advised by pro teacher), address ball, swing & hit (NB: no practice swing). That's about 20-25 seconds for me (just timed it in my lounge lol). But I don't spend ages over putts like some - quickly line it up, stand by ball, hit it (no practice swings there either); reason being, too much time = over-thinking.
Nothing looks worse than looking at a putt every which way, picking up the ball, rotating it, putting it down again, having another look, taking half a dozen practice swings, and then still missing the putt. I always look at my putt while others are putting or are walking to the green. That way I've worked out the line (or at least think I have) and I'm ready to putt when it's my turn.
For number 13# if they are that boring 😅then I will use my phone on mute because other wise I’d practice swing but I don’t want to be distracting I’m not much of a talker on course and its just my style of golf ⛳️ it’s why I love golf it feels like meditation with nature and it’s me vs my mind and body But I love to joke around while we going to the next hole 🕳
I call bullshit on number 10. I'm 270 lbs and I've been 300 lbs so basically you're saying if a 200lb guy carries his bag over the green he is placing too much extra weight on the green? That means I'm too fat to play golf I reckon.
Stay 1/2 a hole behind the group in front of you and nobody will give you crap. But if you fall behind that pace and someone is behind you let them play through. And if it takes 14 shots on any hole, golf isn’t your game, take up bowling, they have gutters so you won’t ever lose your ball. And if you’re there to drink and talk to your friends, don’t lose sight of the pace or just wait until you get to the bar, not the green. And tell the cart girl to meet you at the tee box, not the green when people are waiting behind you.
Go ahead & walk on it, just don't carry your clubs across the green. That's the protocol he was talking about. It doesn't always make sense (since a little guy with clubs may be lighter than a heavy guy without), but it is considered bad form.
I always hit 3 balls on the practice green. I put my back on the teeing ground well behind the markers. I walk across the green with my bag and I most certainly will move behind another player after they hit it to get the line. Sue me.
Screw #6. I'm not saying I do it, but if I heard someone get on another player who is tactfully encouraging the ball to go in the hole, I'd have to ask him how high was the horse he rode to the golf course on.
guyfroml Complimenting another person for their nice drive is fine, but rooting for another person's put to drop is silly, and, yes, blatantly insincere.
Hate to say, however that is your opinion about how you believe someone else feels. It might seem insincere however it may not be. I am guilty of rooting for another players shot to get in on occasion, and it is not insincere, I truly hope everyone plays well with me. If I am playing in a tournament, then no not rooting for anyone but me, but playing with friends, definitely want everyone to enjoy themselves.
Maybe that's the "insincere" attitude of yourself and the guys you play with - not me or the players in my club. We're sincere about it and we don't jump up and down, we simply say in a low tone the very same thing the player himself is saying.
I can't image why it would ever be insincere because simply common sense dictates if you really didn't want the other player's ball to go in the hole, you wouldn't say anything, right? In general, I agree with your comment. But, it sounds like a rule that was written for another time - long ago. Not for today in this era.
@@wgb8210 Really?? You sound like a real prick. You mean you DON'T want your friend's ball to drop if they hit a putt that looks good and has a chance of going in? Thankfully, I play with friends who all genuinely care about each other and want everyone to do well. We often play 4 man scrambles, best ball (2 teams of 8 friends) and even though it's friendly competition, we STILL root for each other. In professional competition I would say it's not a good idea... but even so, the pros respect each other and concede genuine congratulations. That's called courtesy and etiquette.
things that bug me watching pros.. destruction of fairways ..(the later groups should be playing same course as first groups, not some minefield) stepping over hole after putting out.. leaning down on putter when removing ball from hole which dents green for others.. taking hat off running fingers thru sweaty hair before handshake..
Think you will find most of the pro's are guilty of #7 to some extent. Once the Ball's in motion, the have a look to see the line. Think you pretty much got the rest correct
They're referring to standing behind the line while the player is hitting. You're very much allowed to move where you want after the putt is hit, but be courteous when others are putting and stay out of their line of sight.
Some of these are stupid....I play with guys 100lbs heavier than me at times, me carrying my bag across a green would make absolutely 0 affect compared to them and my bag on a tee box that has 400 divots out of it isn’t scuffing the tee box 😂
Yes, but they continue looking knowing it's lost, which is a breach of etiquette. It's casual meaning no $$, meaning I have to be cool considering I'll be stuck with them for the rest of the round.
The lost ball rule is a real weakness in golf. If you can't find it after 5 minutes you then need to go back to where you played from: a huge time sapping walk. It's really clumsy. In match play, par etc - no problem, just concede, but in Stableford and stroke I see players not going back, out of politeness and consideration for playing poartners and the field, giving away points or invalidating the round in the case of stroke. There has to be a better way to handle this, but i am not sure what it is.
Yep, liberal use of provisional balls takes care of this. Heck, I've been known to hit a 2nd ball any time I can't see my ball from the tee sometimes. It only takes a few seconds and it takes next to no time to just pick it up if the first is found.
Jeremy Morris, I think that solution generates more problems than solutions. It takes more than a few seconds! Then, if you hot your second ball is shorter, or in an entirely different direction to your first - the possibilities, and time usage just multiply. The only real solution is to hit good shots!
Even top pro's take gimmes on casual rounds. As a less than excellent golfer, I putt anything for par or better no matter how close. After that I'm not going to get my panties in a bunch if someone picks up a 3 footer.
I don't believe in gimmes period. In fact if most people had to put those 2 footers they would probably miss 20 to 30 percent of them and if you don't agree play 3 to 4 rounds with no gimmes and you'll see. I think it just gives people the illusion they are shooting lower scores than they really are.
Two players in my group never get out of their cart. They will drive to each ball even if they are only 10 yards apart instead of walking to their ball and preparing to hit their next shot.
The last one is complete bullshit. Everyone should finish no matter how close the ball is. Saying it's not golf etiquette if you don't give people gimme's all the time is completely idiotic.
So I can take huge chunk of turf on a tee box with my iron but my bag is not allowed because it might Scuff??? And I can't walk across the green with my 30lb bag on my shoulder while my playing partner out weighs me by 100 lbs. This was the dumbest list I've ever seen.
Etiquette doesn't always make sense, but it is what it is. Following proper protocol is a sign of class. These guidelines aren't In the formal rules, so you don't HAVE to follow them, but being an intentional jerk may cut back on your invites.
#9 and #10 No... just keep the bag out of the way. And walking across the green with the bag is the whole point of saving time. The weight of a carry bag is not going to make a difference on the green. I've seen 300 lb men walk across and they are riding. That could be worse if the theory is true.
Nr 10... Are you f... kidding me?! That's like saying, people who have a specific weight shouldn't walk on the green. A big clue on how bad this so-called idea of etiquette breach really is comes when you consider who carries their bags. (That's the young well-trained lean guys.) Who drives a cart? The guys who generally speaking have a weight of those guys and 4-5 golf bags on top of that. So people. Carry the bag on the green if you want. You only going to save time for the next tee (That's a good thing!)
Required watching for newbies but I'd say any decent golfer who has been at it for five years or more doesn't break these rules often. I have to disagree with #9 and 10: I carry my clubs, so if I park my bag at the back of the tee box out of sight a) it won't bother anyone, and b) it's ridiculous to think that a 45lb stand bag will scuff up a teeing area worse than a 200lb human, a riding mower, or an iron taking a divot. #10 also ridiculous that an extra 45lb bag causes deeper imprints in the green. Been playing for 26 years and never noticed the extra weight causing this. What is annoying, and you left it out, are people who park their bags on the far side of the green and have to run across the green to retrieve said bag and then back again to exit to the green to get to the next hole. Park your clubs/cart where you can get away quickly and not hold up anyone behind you. Also annoying, if you are the person in front of me who is backtrekking to get his bag on the far side of the green, are the balls I'm landing on the turf behind you as you race to avoid getting beaned.
It's true, man. There's a dude at the club where I'm a member that parks the golf cart on the range, doesn't fix divots and leaves his baskets so that other people have to pick up after him. Thanks for tuning in brother.
Carrying your bad across the putting green increases you weight an a deeper divot from your shoes..... ok so let’s say I weight 190 lbs and my clubs weight 20lbs that’s 210lbs I see guys that weight 300lbs walking in the green so tell me the logic?
STOP spitting Sunflower Seeds/Shells on the Greens! I'm a former baseball player and devourer of Seeds, but DAMN--- Having to brush away greasy and grimy seeds is disgusting.
I never expected these golf news stories to help my game but they have. Reading these has taught me a bunch of little ticks that make a significant difference such as the through line. I visualize it as I putt, now.
RIP to every group that couldnt find their ball cus this dude picked it up while it was in play. If you’re too cheap to buy your own balls then you’re too cheap to play the game of golf. Go try tennis
half is range etiquette and stuff like walking on the green with your bag is NOTHING to do with etiquette, in Australia most golf courses encourage buggies on the greens... grass is the important thing here, not some opinion of what grass is and how it's affected by people walking on it... you are wrong there my ladddie.... (sic) half of the stuff in this video is irrelevant or just plain wrong...
For the guy that said he has never bought a golf ball in 30 years and pick up 10 balls a round is the reason we have 5 hours round. We had a guy in our foursome that picked up all the tees on the tee box spend a lot of time looking for balls...we would have no one on the green in front of us on par 5 and holding guy up behind us. It was hard for us but we became a threesome.
No 'gimme' putts if putting for par or birdie. Always 3' foot 'gimme' bogey putts if people in the fairway are waiting to hit. Maximum strokes per hole is double the par, PERIOD! No two-stroke penalty, one, yes, but not two, for 'lost ball' if search is less than three minutes. There's nothing wrong with the bag on the teebox; what's wrong is the bag or the human standing in the peripheral vision of the player. Sand and seed more than just your divot, rake the bunker of more than just your footprints. Leave the rake tines down, beyond the bunker's farthest lip, and NEVER between the trap and the green. Never toss the pin; drop it gently by holding the flag until the pin is below the knees, then allow it to drop from below the knees (tossed pins create dents and 'burn' grooves into the green). The distant putt on the green goes first before any near-by, off-the-green chips. Save the rest of us the trouble and kindly shoot anyone who parks their cart in front of the green while putting. Cigar ash on the putting green is the universal sign of a sociopathic asshole.
Can I give Don Kirk's post 1/2 a like? Some of it's good, but NO gimmes ever and follow the rules on penalty strokes. If you can't find it, it's lost. One stroke and back to where you hit last. If that's the tee, then oh, well. Learn to hit provisional balls.
#10 is not true and never has been true. Watch tour caddies. And some people may put weigh others and there bag weight together. You can not hurt the green walking on it bag in tow bottom line unless your dragging your feet.
William, you are truly an idiot. Obviously cheering negatively towards someone ball is out of line. That's not what I'm talking about, or #6. They say that talking to someone's ball in a positive way is a breach of etiquette, and that is simply not true whatsoever.
THEY SAID CHEERING SOMEONE'S BALL. Negatively or positively. SO why is one okay, and the other isn't.... Now think about that before you rage at your keyboard.....
It's not so obvious when you use the language correctly. And if you're so fking smart, what's cheering negatively called. Since it apparently doesn't exist. And I always cheer negatively for the people's ball I play with.... They hit a bad shot, and they KNOW they did, and it's heading right for the water.... YOU SAY GET IN THE WATER.... WHAT'S THAT CALLED THEN EINSTEIN.... NEGATIVE CHEER. Holy crap man. You can find many articles about negative cheering in all sports.... Too funny.
3mins if you're having the round of your life and you shank it into the trees on the 18th 15 seconds if you're on 106 Stoke coming into the 16th playing weekend golf 😂😂
If I'm paying, I'm playing. If I shoot a quad, I'll putt the final gimmi too. No wonder so many golfers have such good handicaps, it's called cheating by taking gimmis
Okay, but on the other hand, I've seen guys spend 2-3 minutes lining-up & plumb-bobbing a four-inch putt. Go ahead & putt everything out if you want, just please be sure to maintain your pace-of-play. The most common and worst etiquette rule I've seen on the course is SLOW PLAY!
No gimmes in competition. Where do you draw the line. If you didn't have to putt out, then the rules would say "If you putt within 12 inches of the hole, then pick up and add one to your score", but they don't.
dnnyshdy putting out doesn’t slow down the game as long as you and your buddies aren’t assholes about it like marking, plumb bobbing from both sides then setting the balls just perfectly for a 4 inch fricking putt.
I was gonna say the same. Neither of the courses in my city have starters. They will tell you over a loud speaker who is next, but nobody on the first tee box to tell you when to go.
I can remember one exception: Phil Mickelson, in the U.S. Amateur, conceded a 15 footer when he had a 10 foot putt to win the hole, which he did hole...had he missed the hole would've been tied...you might say that Phil was the confident putter in those days
They're saying to be aware of where you put it. Don't set it down right next to the tee marker, for example, if you're playing with others because there are people who are too nice to ask you to move it, so they might play their ball from somewhere else on the tee that might not be the best place to play from.
I'll add two and refute two: 1. DON'T TAKE UP TWO HOLES ON THE PRACTICE GREEN: When on the putting green, if you just finished putting to one hole and are moving on to a different one, move far enough away from the last hole that someone else can use it. It's rude and self-centered to take up TWO holes. This is a pet peeve of mine. You're NOT the only person on the putting green...unless, you ARE. LOL 2. YOU DON'T NEED TO TALK ABOUT YOUR SHOT AFTER EVERY STROKE: I don't think this one is common, but we have a golf buddy that never shuts up about what he did right or wrong on the last stroke. He'll catch one solid in the middle of the face, but send it hurtling into the trees and say, "That was SUCH a good shot", and then shank one and call himself a moron. This continues on the tee box while others are teeing off. DUDE!! Please keep the constant narrative to yourself. REFUTE: 1. TALKING TO SOMEONE ELSE'S BALL: I've heard this one before and, IMO, there is nothing wrong with rooting for a good result from your friends shot(s). That's not the same as saying, "Get it close " on a putt to tie or win a hole. You can THINK it, but don't SAY it. I see nothing wrong with asking the golf gods to smile kindly on your playing partner. Maybe that Karma will be returned. 2. WALKING ACROSS THE GREEN WITH YOUR GOLF BAG; I stopped carrying a few years ago, but I still walk the course. I use a Clicgear push cart, so it's not possible for me to cross the green, but there is more difference in weight between people than the extra damage of a lightweight carry bag. For example, one of my golf buddies weighs 250 and I weight 175. I could carry a 30 pound bag and still do less damage then him, so this one is just ridiculous. Are you next going to suggest anyone over 200 pounds tip toe on the green to avoid damage? I am actually considering trying to carry again, BECAUSE I wouldn't have to circle the green with my push cart. Having to walk around a 6,000 to 10,0000 square foot green takes a LOT more steps over 18 holes and, more importantly, it takes a more time. It also means it take me longer to mark my ball and get it out of the way. I"ve never heard this one and it shouldn't be on the etiquette list.
300 pounds. I don't think the bag is going to matter when I'm on the green. I do have some friends that are too generous with the gimmes. Yes, I want to try to sink that six foot putt. If I've made a 150 yard approach shot and it stopped three inches away, I deserve to finish the hole properly. I want to make those putts. If I missed a 20 footer by an inch, ok pick it up.
I'll go to school on anyone's putt (not standing behind). This is not against the rules. Gimmies - I don't think the commentator has understood matchplay.
I think the rule is that you can't stand behind them when they address/hit the ball, but you can quickly step in line after they strike the ball. Phil on 18 at his first Masters win comes to mind.
Jamie Smith No, not "quickly", as that can be just plain obnoxious. What bothers me most is when people stand in my line in front of me - stand well to the side of the hole, not directly behind it (a USGA rule).
You forgot number 15. Wasting my time with this ridiculous video. Most of these things didn’t have anything to do with Behavior on the golf course. Next.
A threesome or foursome would be there all day just letting singles and twosomes through if that were a good idea. If we're a foursome keeping up with the group ahead, then whoever is behind us has to wait, that's called golf... too damn bad.

#10 - I'm sorry but I stopped watching. What about when a fat dude walks on the green? should the green have a weight limit? Not a genuine break of ettiqute im afraid. if you havent walked on someones line or put you bag on the green, your all good
There are more important ones that you missed. 1. Don't drag your feet on greens. 2. Learn to fix ball marks on greens properly. 3. Hit provisional as needed. 4. Don't drive carts on soaked grass. 5. Don't cheer so loud others groups get distracted. 6. And my personal favorite.... keep up with the group ahead of you, especially when a group is behind you. Golf is somthing I do that day.), it is not all of my day!
I'd play golf with you any day
your list is spot on, not the list here.
Definitely NO peeing in the sand trap.
Funny!
Lucky some son of a blue balled bitch doesn’t piss in the cup.
Never give me gimmes. I like tapping out. Especially if my alignment is off tap ins are great for figuring out alignment
@Paul Goodier fast golf is for high handicaps. Never understood the hurry.
@Paul Goodier I’m a 2.3 at the moment. What’s yours? No I’m uber well mannered golfer actually, but if people are pressing from behind I’ll ignore.
@Paul Goodier cheating raises not helps your handicap because once you cheat your round will fall apart. It’s not a fun game if everyone is always dropping balls when they miff one.

@@vicO1323 for sure Match play a gimme makes sense
When your playing partner pulls the flag and lays it beyond the hole but still in reachable distance of your putt, should your ball go too far past the hole.
Did you mention fixing the pitch mark your ball makes when your approach shot hits the green? Some call it a divot and that's okay, but that's what your irons make when hit (usually) from the fairway. Either way, you should have your repair tool in your pocket and fix them.
Your rules are a bit out of date you should update taking on board the below comments.
I have a friend that's loves being late to tee times. Tee time is at 9 with at least a 30 minute drive? I'll pick you up at 8:35 and stop for coffee on the way. I just started driving myself.
Just tell him to meet you on hole 3 and play without him. Especially when you take the cart. He’ll learn one day
@@33awesomeman33 some courses don’t let you off the first tee without your full group
The first thing I was taught about while watching my dad during his round of golf when I was a kid was etiquette. Today people buy clubs cigars and alcohol and have no clue about on course etiquette. It’s pathetic and frustrating.
Pretty sure back then people still bought clubs cigars and alcohol. Would be hard to play golf without clubs..
#11: My Golf Club tells us to scatter the divots, because the single small divots heal more quickly than huge patches or long lines.
That's abnormal and most likely incorrect. They should both heal at the same rate, assuming that you aren't making massively deep gouges by hitting from basically the same place.
Ball marks, divots, general care for the course like not driving the cart around the edge of or on the green or up onto the tee box, all far more egregious breaches of etiquette than a stand bag on the tee or walking across the green with your bag on your shoulder. Is there a weight limit? Really? This is more of a pet peeves list. Absolutely agree about phones though. Phones go in the glove compartment of the car, or set to vibrate and tucked into the valuables pocket of your golf bag. And there they stay from the first tee to the walk to the tenth tee. Then back into the bag they go until you're walking to the parking lot after the 18th.
I do adhear to rule #10, but when playing with guys who are regularly 100kg +, I don't think my 72kg + 10kg bag will do much harm.
I played a charity golf tournament with my neighbor who weight well over 300 pounds and when he walked on the green he left an imprint like a dinosaur track.
You can carry your bag on the green, just don’t set it down. If I weigh 200 with my bag and my playing partner weighs 250 without his, he’s doing more damage than I could possibly do. Either way footprints heal themselves quickly, just don’t step too close to the hole, bag or no bag. And if you are distracted by a golf bag, either ask the guy to move it or learn to concentrate a little better. The tee box was not like a green.
It's etiquette, it doesn't have to make sense. Just don't carry your bag across the green (walk aroud the edge). BTW, footprints won't heal in time for the next foursome... or the one after them... or the next one, etc.
The general rule on phones is NEVER on the course. If someone needs to be aware of a phone call or text, and they ask their playing partners in advance, then it is allowable.
Also everybody needs to watch eachother shoot. Most annoying thing when you make a beautiful shot and you turn to your jackass friends that missed it cuz they are on their phones. No cell phones on the course is a great idea
Work never allows for that. Who can take 3-4 hours away from their phone, psh.
My phone does yardage to the hole, monitors my health and gives weather updates.
@@TIMEtoRIDE900 That's fine as long as you're not playing golf.
And buying a six-pack every 4 holes will slow the golf day down. Finding a bathroom, getting worse the drunker you get. And smoking pot doesn't help your golf game either, Just saying 😃
I don't trust people that think like you. When guys like you come around usually people go to jail shortly thereafter
#9 and #10 No... just keep the bag out of the way. And walking across the green with the bag is the whole point of saving time. The weight of a carry bag is not going to make a difference on the green. I've seen 300 lb men walk across and they are riding. That could be worse if your theory is true.
Here's a few more. Don't announce the trouble on a hole (ie, ob) before somebody tees off. Chronically self-analyzing your own swing or anybody else's swing on the course -- you don't know what you're talking about and nobody cares about your opinion. Marking your ball with a half a dollar. Talking (and whispering) after somebody has started their preshot routine -- yep, we can hear you whispering dude. Standing directly down the target line as somebody hits a full shot, unless you're an invited caddy or part of a large gallery. Having a preshot routine that takes more than 15 seconds. Just hit it. Moving around, playing with your phone, pulling clubs in and out of your bag after somebody's started their routine. Just be still - it ain't that hard or complicated. I'm old, but I believe they ought to teach that stuff to everybody before they let em on a real golf course.
Great additional set of points.
I think your 15 seconds pre-shot is a bit rushed - I was always taught to walk quickly to the ball, take your time over the shot, though not excessively. My [tee shot] routine: check ground (don't want to stand in a divot hole), ball on tee, stand behind ball to check line (advised by pro teacher), address ball, swing & hit (NB: no practice swing). That's about 20-25 seconds for me (just timed it in my lounge lol).
But I don't spend ages over putts like some - quickly line it up, stand by ball, hit it (no practice swings there either); reason being, too much time = over-thinking.
I agree on the 15 seconds -- I'm kind of still in the Lee Trevino mode. Hit it before they catch you on the course without paying the green fees!
I dad used to say,"Miss em quick".
Chris Krolack I like that, lol!
Nothing looks worse than looking at a putt every which way, picking up the ball, rotating it, putting it down again, having another look, taking half a dozen practice swings, and then still missing the putt. I always look at my putt while others are putting or are walking to the green. That way I've worked out the line (or at least think I have) and I'm ready to putt when it's my turn.
For number 13# if they are that boring 😅then I will use my phone on mute because other wise I’d practice swing but I don’t want to be distracting
I’m not much of a talker on course and its just my style of golf ⛳️ it’s why I love golf it feels like meditation with nature and it’s me vs my mind and body
But I love to joke around while we going to the next hole 🕳
MOST IMPORTANT: Shut up when your playing partners are hitting their shot.
I call bullshit on number 10. I'm 270 lbs and I've been 300 lbs so basically you're saying if a 200lb guy carries his bag over the green he is placing too much extra weight on the green? That means I'm too fat to play golf I reckon.
Stay 1/2 a hole behind the group in front of you and nobody will give you crap. But if you fall behind that pace and someone is behind you let them play through.
And if it takes 14 shots on any hole, golf isn’t your game, take up bowling, they have gutters so you won’t ever lose your ball. And if you’re there to drink and talk to your friends, don’t lose sight of the pace or just wait until you get to the bar, not the green. And tell the cart girl to meet you at the tee box, not the green when people are waiting behind you.
Dude im 260 lbs. Gonna tell me i can't walk on the greens because im too heavy?
I know! I thought that one was absurd too. You can walk on the greens. Permission granted. Thanks for tuning in.
I agree 100% #10 is ridiculous.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure a riding greens mower weighs more than a set of clubs.
Go ahead & walk on it, just don't carry your clubs across the green. That's the protocol he was talking about. It doesn't always make sense (since a little guy with clubs may be lighter than a heavy guy without), but it is considered bad form.
I always hit 3 balls on the practice green. I put my back on the teeing ground well behind the markers. I walk across the green with my bag and I most certainly will move behind another player after they hit it to get the line. Sue me.
Screw #6. I'm not saying I do it, but if I heard someone get on another player who is tactfully encouraging the ball to go in the hole, I'd have to ask him how high was the horse he rode to the golf course on.
guyfroml Complimenting another person for their nice drive is fine, but rooting for another person's put to drop is silly, and, yes, blatantly insincere.
Hate to say, however that is your opinion about how you believe someone else feels. It might seem insincere however it may not be. I am guilty of rooting for another players shot to get in on occasion, and it is not insincere, I truly hope everyone plays well with me. If I am playing in a tournament, then no not rooting for anyone but me, but playing with friends, definitely want everyone to enjoy themselves.
Maybe that's the "insincere" attitude of yourself and the guys you play with - not me or the players in my club. We're sincere about it and we don't jump up and down, we simply say in a low tone the very same thing the player himself is saying.
I can't image why it would ever be insincere because simply common sense dictates if you really didn't want the other player's ball to go in the hole, you wouldn't say anything, right? In general, I agree with your comment. But, it sounds like a rule that was written for another time - long ago. Not for today in this era.
@@wgb8210 Really?? You sound like a real prick. You mean you DON'T want your friend's ball to drop if they hit a putt that looks good and has a chance of going in? Thankfully, I play with friends who all genuinely care about each other and want everyone to do well. We often play 4 man scrambles, best ball (2 teams of 8 friends) and even though it's friendly competition, we STILL root for each other. In professional competition I would say it's not a good idea... but even so, the pros respect each other and concede genuine congratulations. That's called courtesy and etiquette.
Oh the stories I could tell you. I've left a few in the comments below but I don't have enough time for the rest of them. haha.
Love the comment about carrying your bag on the green. How much do you think the mowers weigh that cut the greens every day? A lot more then a person.
some of those tires have 12 PSI ground pressure. When you walk you are on the ball of one foot; a 4X3 square with all your weight.
The through line rule was good...
things that bug me watching pros..
destruction of fairways ..(the later groups should be playing same course as first groups, not some minefield)
stepping over hole after putting out..
leaning down on putter when removing ball from hole which dents green for others..
taking hat off running fingers thru sweaty hair before handshake..
Nice video.... but from someone who edits videos, check the audio to make sure you've gotten rid of the screwups.
The worst one is talking whilst someone is playing a shot, not even covered here, maybe as it's so obvious to us but some dorks will do it.
Think you will find most of the pro's are guilty of #7 to some extent. Once the Ball's in motion, the have a look to see the line. Think you pretty much got the rest correct
They're referring to standing behind the line while the player is hitting. You're very much allowed to move where you want after the putt is hit, but be courteous when others are putting and stay out of their line of sight.
Honest, I didn't know they were watching.
Some of these are stupid....I play with guys 100lbs heavier than me at times, me carrying my bag across a green would make absolutely 0 affect compared to them and my bag on a tee box that has 400 divots out of it isn’t scuffing the tee box 😂
isnt 5 mins looking for a ball a rule? not etiquette
It's both. I've competed and played in plenty of casual games where people just refuse to give up on a ball well after the 5 minutes.
HOOA Golf it's not both...it is a rule. After 5:00 the ball is deemed lost and can not be played even if then found
Yes, but they continue looking knowing it's lost, which is a breach of etiquette. It's casual meaning no $$, meaning I have to be cool considering I'll be stuck with them for the rest of the round.
5 min is way too long....maybe if you are in a pga tourney. Otherwise drop another ball and keep up
Lol if someone takes 5 minutes looking for a ball then I'm taking me tee shot with them in the way
The lost ball rule is a real weakness in golf. If you can't find it after 5 minutes you then need to go back to where you played from: a huge time sapping walk. It's really clumsy. In match play, par etc - no problem, just concede, but in Stableford and stroke I see players not going back, out of politeness and consideration for playing poartners and the field, giving away points or invalidating the round in the case of stroke. There has to be a better way to handle this, but i am not sure what it is.
Always play a provisional when in doubt. That's a lonely, irritating walk back to the tee box.
Sometimes you just don't expect to lose it.
garethb1961 well then their is no other way
Yep, liberal use of provisional balls takes care of this. Heck, I've been known to hit a 2nd ball any time I can't see my ball from the tee sometimes. It only takes a few seconds and it takes next to no time to just pick it up if the first is found.
Jeremy Morris, I think that solution generates more problems than solutions. It takes more than a few seconds! Then, if you hot your second ball is shorter, or in an entirely different direction to your first - the possibilities, and time usage just multiply. The only real solution is to hit good shots!
Not a single one here 😇
remarking puts and kneeling behind it for your 3 putt in 4somes.... your not nicklaus & palmer more like abbot and costelo
The rules change from year to year, so A video that is going on four years old should be forgiven from recently changed rules.
Never no gimmes
Always put out
Definitely no gimmes in competition. Where do you draw the line?
Even top pro's take gimmes on casual rounds. As a less than excellent golfer, I putt anything for par or better no matter how close. After that I'm not going to get my panties in a bunch if someone picks up a 3 footer.
I don't believe in gimmes period. In fact if most people had to put those 2 footers they would probably miss 20 to 30 percent of them and if you don't agree play 3 to 4 rounds with no gimmes and you'll see. I think it just gives people the illusion they are shooting lower scores than they really are.
Yes to gimmies if you're playing match play.
Subject to oppositions call.
Otherwise NO! Never in comp either !
@@douglamb1521 you draw the line at match and only play it in social or in match play, your opponent can give you the put, you don't decide.
Stoke-play - there is nothing like a gimme - sink the putt , no matter how short the distance !!!!
Some guys gives gimmes the entire length of a putter.
Two players in my group never get out of their cart. They will drive to each ball even if they are only 10 yards apart instead of walking to their ball and preparing to hit their next shot.
The last one is complete bullshit. Everyone should finish no matter how close the ball is. Saying it's not golf etiquette if you don't give people gimme's all the time is completely idiotic.
So I can take huge chunk of turf on a tee box with my iron but my bag is not allowed because it might Scuff??? And I can't walk across the green with my 30lb bag on my shoulder while my playing partner out weighs me by 100 lbs. This was the dumbest list I've ever seen.
Etiquette doesn't always make sense, but it is what it is. Following proper protocol is a sign of class. These guidelines aren't In the formal rules, so you don't HAVE to follow them, but being an intentional jerk may cut back on your invites.
#9 and #10 No... just keep the bag out of the way. And walking across the green with the bag is the whole point of saving time. The weight of a carry bag is not going to make a difference on the green. I've seen 300 lb men walk across and they are riding. That could be worse if the theory is true.
Playing music. Twice I've golfed with people who play music. It's annoying and illegal as some players use it to better time their swings.
Nr 10... Are you f... kidding me?!
That's like saying, people who have a specific weight shouldn't walk on the green.
A big clue on how bad this so-called idea of etiquette breach really is comes when you consider who carries their bags. (That's the young well-trained lean guys.) Who drives a cart? The guys who generally speaking have a weight of those guys and 4-5 golf bags on top of that.
So people. Carry the bag on the green if you want. You only going to save time for the next tee (That's a good thing!)
Required watching for newbies but I'd say any decent golfer who has been at it for five years or more doesn't break these rules often. I have to disagree with #9 and 10: I carry my clubs, so if I park my bag at the back of the tee box out of sight a) it won't bother anyone, and b) it's ridiculous to think that a 45lb stand bag will scuff up a teeing area worse than a 200lb human, a riding mower, or an iron taking a divot. #10 also ridiculous that an extra 45lb bag causes deeper imprints in the green. Been playing for 26 years and never noticed the extra weight causing this.
What is annoying, and you left it out, are people who park their bags on the far side of the green and have to run across the green to retrieve said bag and then back again to exit to the green to get to the next hole. Park your clubs/cart where you can get away quickly and not hold up anyone behind you. Also annoying, if you are the person in front of me who is backtrekking to get his bag on the far side of the green, are the balls I'm landing on the turf behind you as you race to avoid getting beaned.
Why is it that golf course member are the 1s breaking all the rules
It's true, man. There's a dude at the club where I'm a member that parks the golf cart on the range, doesn't fix divots and leaves his baskets so that other people have to pick up after him. Thanks for tuning in brother.
I was penalized 1 shot for running over an old lady with my cart.
Carrying your bad across the putting green increases you weight an a deeper divot from your shoes..... ok so let’s say I weight 190 lbs and my clubs weight 20lbs that’s 210lbs I see guys that weight 300lbs walking in the green so tell me the logic?
Note to self, do not take a pee in the woods without checking the shape of the weeds. Poison ivy in private parts does not help your golf.
STOP spitting Sunflower Seeds/Shells on the Greens! I'm a former baseball player and devourer of Seeds, but DAMN--- Having to brush away greasy and grimy seeds is disgusting.
Apparently those who are over weight should stay off the greens.
I'm guilty of #7 and never knew the through line part for #8
I never expected these golf news stories to help my game but they have. Reading these has taught me a bunch of little ticks that make a significant difference such as the through line. I visualize it as I putt, now.
#7 is actually a breach of rule, not just etiquette
Don't feel too bad. Michelle Wie got chewed out on tour once for walking in the through line.
I played a golf tournament and the two opponents got directly behind me to watch my putt, in a tournament for gawd's sake.
"golf balls are expensive"
i havent paid for a ball in 30 years.
i average 10 found for every one lost....at least.
Don't pick up balls on the course.
You're going to take someone's ball soon enough.
Only pick up your own marked balls. It's simple.
RIP to every group that couldnt find their ball cus this dude picked it up while it was in play. If you’re too cheap to buy your own balls then you’re too cheap to play the game of golf. Go try tennis
#10 should not be. (carrying your bag across the green) I seen people that weigh more than me even with the combined weight of my bag.
2:24
Remix 2:35
Getting behind you or in front of your line is verboten imo
Someone should always be playing in your group
Rules of golf etiquette, is simply an impossible statement. etiquettes arent rules, and rules arent etiquette
half is range etiquette and stuff like walking on the green with your bag is NOTHING to do with etiquette, in Australia most golf courses encourage buggies on the greens... grass is the important thing here, not some opinion of what grass is and how it's affected by people walking on it... you are wrong there my ladddie.... (sic) half of the stuff in this video is irrelevant or just plain wrong...
For the guy that said he has never bought a golf ball in 30 years and pick up 10 balls a round is the reason we have 5 hours round. We had a guy in our foursome that picked up all the tees on the tee box spend a lot of time looking for balls...we would have no one on the green in front of us on par 5 and holding guy up behind us. It was hard for us but we became a threesome.
Phones should be not be used during a round
Was this narrated by Phil M?
Nope. Michael Robles.
By Phillip J. Fry from Futurama!
No 'gimme' putts if putting for par or birdie. Always 3' foot 'gimme' bogey putts if people in the fairway are waiting to hit. Maximum strokes per hole is double the par, PERIOD! No two-stroke penalty, one, yes, but not two, for 'lost ball' if search is less than three minutes. There's nothing wrong with the bag on the teebox; what's wrong is the bag or the human standing in the peripheral vision of the player. Sand and seed more than just your divot, rake the bunker of more than just your footprints. Leave the rake tines down, beyond the bunker's farthest lip, and NEVER between the trap and the green. Never toss the pin; drop it gently by holding the flag until the pin is below the knees, then allow it to drop from below the knees (tossed pins create dents and 'burn' grooves into the green). The distant putt on the green goes first before any near-by, off-the-green chips. Save the rest of us the trouble and kindly shoot anyone who parks their cart in front of the green while putting. Cigar ash on the putting green is the universal sign of a sociopathic asshole.
Don Kirk always gimme if someone's waiting, ridiculous.
Always? I'd say never. Gimmes are a crutch that keeps one from learning to putt.
RUFUS T. FIREFLY ditto, x1000
Can I give Don Kirk's post 1/2 a like? Some of it's good, but NO gimmes ever and follow the rules on penalty strokes. If you can't find it, it's lost. One stroke and back to where you hit last. If that's the tee, then oh, well. Learn to hit provisional balls.
I hate when anyone talks to my ball it’s like the kiss of death the ball never falls in the hole or rolls thru the fairway it’s very annoying
Many times it's in-genuine. The competition doesn't really want a putt to drop.
9 10 11 are bullshit, watch a tour event... 14, um gimmes arent ettiqutte, youre breaking a rule. putt out.
#10 is not true and never has been true. Watch tour caddies. And some people may put weigh others and there bag weight together. You can not hurt the green walking on it bag in tow bottom line unless your dragging your feet.
Cool i don't break any of these.
HAHAHAHAHA Every pro caddie puts their bag on the tee box..... Like shut it bud.....
They're talking about right next to the tee marker. They aren't saying you can't put your bag on the entire teeing ground.
Off to the side... Not between the markers ... FFS
Hahaha #6 is a complete joke. That is not a breach of etiquette
If you're having a bad hole and I cheer your ball into the bunker. I bet you'd be even more mad......
William, you are truly an idiot. Obviously cheering negatively towards someone ball is out of line. That's not what I'm talking about, or #6. They say that talking to someone's ball in a positive way is a breach of etiquette, and that is simply not true whatsoever.
THEY SAID CHEERING SOMEONE'S BALL. Negatively or positively. SO why is one okay, and the other isn't.... Now think about that before you rage at your keyboard.....
Again you might be the dumbest f*** on youtube. Obviously rooting against someone's ball is lame. OBVIOUSLY that's not what i was talking about.
It's not so obvious when you use the language correctly. And if you're so fking smart, what's cheering negatively called. Since it apparently doesn't exist. And I always cheer negatively for the people's ball I play with.... They hit a bad shot, and they KNOW they did, and it's heading right for the water.... YOU SAY GET IN THE WATER.... WHAT'S THAT CALLED THEN EINSTEIN.... NEGATIVE CHEER. Holy crap man. You can find many articles about negative cheering in all sports.... Too funny.
Hour early at the least. Get some breakfast a drink use the restroom hit some balls. People suck!
60 secs for lost balls or until your turn.
3mins if you're having the round of your life and you shank it into the trees on the 18th
15 seconds if you're on 106 Stoke coming into the 16th playing weekend golf 😂😂
@@TheCarty1986 3 minutes period. The rules are the rules. I'll do that whether it's the first hole, the last, or anywhere in between.
If I'm paying, I'm playing. If I shoot a quad, I'll putt the final gimmi too. No wonder so many golfers have such good handicaps, it's called cheating by taking gimmis
If you don't want to put out then you're really not playing golf...
Okay, but on the other hand, I've seen guys spend 2-3 minutes lining-up & plumb-bobbing a four-inch putt. Go ahead & putt everything out if you want, just please be sure to maintain your pace-of-play.
The most common and worst etiquette rule I've seen on the course is SLOW PLAY!
I almost came to blows with someone over this issue. Read a definition of the game!
Says the asshole with three 4somes backed up behind him because he plumb-bobs 3 inch putts
No gimmes in competition. Where do you draw the line. If you didn't have to putt out, then the rules would say "If you putt within 12 inches of the hole, then pick up and add one to your score", but they don't.
dnnyshdy putting out doesn’t slow down the game as long as you and your buddies aren’t assholes about it like marking, plumb bobbing from both sides then setting the balls just perfectly for a 4 inch fricking putt.
Haven't seen a starter on a golf course in 20 years
Greg Ball where the hell are you playing?
I was gonna say the same. Neither of the courses in my city have starters. They will tell you over a loud speaker who is next, but nobody on the first tee box to tell you when to go.
Starters nowadays are just the grouchy guy who checks your tee time and receipt while being as disinterested as possible in being there.
No one has given someone a 'downhill 8 footer' in the history of golf.
And they shouldn't. You should earn it. Are you related to Jeff?
I am not related to Jeff. I used to get asked that all the time. Wish I was though, perhaps some of that HOF talent would have came my way!
I can remember one exception: Phil Mickelson, in the U.S. Amateur, conceded a 15 footer when he had a 10 foot putt to win the hole, which he did hole...had he missed the hole would've been tied...you might say that Phil was the confident putter in those days
Quit playing music on the course. Don’t force feed shitty music onto ur playing partners or group within ears reach.
Minor stretches on #9 and #10. #6 is silly. Others are ok.
Your supposed to put ur bag on the tee box, that’s perfectly fine
They're saying to be aware of where you put it. Don't set it down right next to the tee marker, for example, if you're playing with others because there are people who are too nice to ask you to move it, so they might play their ball from somewhere else on the tee that might not be the best place to play from.
No you're not!! Wtf lol
I'll add two and refute two:
1. DON'T TAKE UP TWO HOLES ON THE PRACTICE GREEN:
When on the putting green, if you just finished putting to one hole and are moving on to a different one, move far enough away from the last hole that someone else can use it. It's rude and self-centered to take up TWO holes. This is a pet peeve of mine. You're NOT the only person on the putting green...unless, you ARE. LOL
2. YOU DON'T NEED TO TALK ABOUT YOUR SHOT AFTER EVERY STROKE:
I don't think this one is common, but we have a golf buddy that never shuts up about what he did right or wrong on the last stroke. He'll catch one solid in the middle of the face, but send it hurtling into the trees and say, "That was SUCH a good shot", and then shank one and call himself a moron. This continues on the tee box while others are teeing off. DUDE!! Please keep the constant narrative to yourself.
REFUTE:
1. TALKING TO SOMEONE ELSE'S BALL:
I've heard this one before and, IMO, there is nothing wrong with rooting for a good result from your friends shot(s). That's not the same as saying, "Get it close " on a putt to tie or win a hole. You can THINK it, but don't SAY it. I see nothing wrong with asking the golf gods to smile kindly on your playing partner. Maybe that Karma will be returned.
2. WALKING ACROSS THE GREEN WITH YOUR GOLF BAG;
I stopped carrying a few years ago, but I still walk the course. I use a Clicgear push cart, so it's not possible for me to cross the green, but there is more difference in weight between people than the extra damage of a lightweight carry bag. For example, one of my golf buddies weighs 250 and I weight 175. I could carry a 30 pound bag and still do less damage then him, so this one is just ridiculous. Are you next going to suggest anyone over 200 pounds tip toe on the green to avoid damage? I am actually considering trying to carry again, BECAUSE I wouldn't have to circle the green with my push cart. Having to walk around a 6,000 to 10,0000 square foot green takes a LOT more steps over 18 holes and, more importantly, it takes a more time. It also means it take me longer to mark my ball and get it out of the way. I"ve never heard this one and it shouldn't be on the etiquette list.
oNumber 10 is a load of crap
I never broke any of these……Only a idiot would.!.!.!
#15. Too many practice swings. Just hit the damn ball
Good one, my amigo!
300 pounds. I don't think the bag is going to matter when I'm on the green. I do have some friends that are too generous with the gimmes. Yes, I want to try to sink that six foot putt. If I've made a 150 yard approach shot and it stopped three inches away, I deserve to finish the hole properly. I want to make those putts.
If I missed a 20 footer by an inch, ok pick it up.
I'll go to school on anyone's putt (not standing behind). This is not against the rules. Gimmies - I don't think the commentator has understood matchplay.
I think the rule is that you can't stand behind them when they address/hit the ball, but you can quickly step in line after they strike the ball. Phil on 18 at his first Masters win comes to mind.
Jamie Smith No, not "quickly", as that can be just plain obnoxious. What bothers me most is when people stand in my line in front of me - stand well to the side of the hole, not directly behind it (a USGA rule).
Talking with a 50's style voice and not using the word "Jeepers" at least once. That should be banned.
You forgot number 15. Wasting my time with this ridiculous video. Most of these things didn’t have anything to do with Behavior on the golf course. Next.
This is mostly garbage... allowing faster parties to play through? C'mon now
James Bellamy why not? If you're slow as fuck let the ppl who are having a good game with good momentum play through.
A threesome or foursome would be there all day just letting singles and twosomes through if that were a good idea. If we're a foursome keeping up with the group ahead, then whoever is behind us has to wait, that's called golf... too damn bad.
